you think i'm happy it's legal to be married everywhere? Why weren't you fighting for marriage to be illegal? Why did we have to conform to you? Marriage is the corner stone of patriarchy that has literally ENSLAVED women for centuries. I want no part of that institution. I don't need a church or government or piece of paper to tell me it's "acceptable" to like and love who I like and love. I've already told myself that, thank you.

p.s. in Uganda if your brother is gay they murder your family. focus on that for a change instead of rich white people finally being able to....wear a fucking ring and change their last name? hooray?

you don't need to conform to me. but CLEARLY these people who the New York Times featured WANTED to be married since they lined up for hours to be part of the ceremony.

we can argue the deeply religious ties marriage has and womans rights OR we can celebrate that two people who want to be treated as a married couple can now do so. obviously love is in the heart, not on a piece of paper but its nice they can have both.
